I like checking a bag too. For the most part though upgrading the aircrafts with wifi/entertainment and their service fee is a fixed expense.
A checked bag requires handling. One to check it, security to screen it, route it to proper plane, load/unload it and baggage service employees. With so many passengers not checking anything these days the amount of staff needed has been cut. Flip side it has certainly added to the TSA being overwhelmed. If they start checking more bags the behind the scene TSA checked bag area will likely become more overwhelmed making me wonder initially if the check luggage might miss their flight instead of the passengers.

wifi entertainment systems actually do cost.. but in weight. planes can only take off limited. So they cost more turbosine.

in other news, my grandmah moved to our house. She's getting old and she is now having lapses of memory. Mother agrees she cant be trusted anymore to live alone, even with a helper that is most of the time with her (she has left the stove on at night and other bad things).
She's 96.
I dont think she has much time left considering how fast she seems to be degrading.
She now repeats the same stories over and over.

I'm a person that really doesn't take a lot of photo's. I took way more on my recent trip to Europe then I ever have in the past and that was probably because almost all of them were taken with my cell phone. I had a camera with me, but, my cell took much better quality pictures. Friends have asked me why I don't take more pictures. Well, for one thing, I am to busy looking at stuff to remember to take a picture of it. Second, I have it all in file in my brain. I was asked, what if you get alzheimer's or something like that, to which I reply, then I won't know what they are pictures of anyway. I did a slide show complete with music to thank my sister for all her work planning it, but, I have no idea how to share it here.

I've been repeating stories over and over since before I turned 50. It's just that we don't remember who we told the stories too. I do it with my daughters. I forget which one I have told, so, now I just tell them to stop me if I am repeating. Nothing new, though, I've been doing it for years. Chances are I have done the same thing on the boards. Chances are I have done the same thing on the boards. (That last sentence was just for dramatic affect)

Southwest refrains from peanut product service and asks the entire plane to refrain from eating peanut products. Same thing on Delta. It probably varies by airline.

On the multitudes of Southwest flights I've done over the past almost 25 years I've never heard an announcement to refrain from eating peanut products on a flight. It must be rare occasions or people with allergies just deal with it.

Sorry, but, you cannot have any. It seem that there is a person in Arizona that is allergic to Pecan's. The entire country is now expected to not expose that to the air in the event of a strong westerly wind and the occasional eastern one. It takes a country to raise a child.
I suppose if you consume it in an airtight facility it is OK as long as you promise not to burp when you go outside.

I heard it a few times before I had to ask for it for myself. I also have been on a couple of flights where I noticed someone else handed a flight attendant the Peanut Allergy slip. Ot may depend on what time of day you're flying; the airlines usually recommend those with allergies take earlier flights, and that's usually where I seem to encounter others who use that accomodation. I hate asking for the accomodation, but for me personally, all of my food allergies have gotten worse (overall, my asthma and allergies are much better than they used to be, but my food allergies have gotten worse. Go figure) so I now have to. Also, once you use an epi pen, you have to go to the emergency room, which means I'd ground the entire flight and inconvenience everyone more than if I just ask them not to serve peanuts on the plane. Not to mention "dealing with it" is not an option for many of us since a severe allergic reaction could kill us.

If you do ever hear the announcement, just please respect it. The person asking for it probably doesn't want to have to ask, but likely, they're just trying to keep themselves safe. :)
